House rental Florida
When we arrived at the boho style property in bonita springs florida on tues 26th sep at 10pm and as soon as we got in we see the door had been smashed in and locks changed 3 times in the past which we have photo proof and immediately did not feel safe and had to barricade the door with a sofa just to try and get some sleep as we had been travelling for 15 hours and it was late at night so we we left in the morning and booked another house as this place was not secure and the photos on the web site must be 20 yrs old as it was in a poor state so we will require our money back or I will be taken legal action. We can not access email in usa so can respond after the 10th oct with photos or call us +[protected] thank you.
Desired outcome: please refund
Bookings.Com incompetency
Good DAY
I made a booking for the below, last week Thursday 2023/09/21 at Amanzimtoti Beachfront Holiday Apartment, Flat No 23, and the booking was confirmed but unfortunately there were no vacant rooms in that hotel. The owner was shocked because he was fully booked, and he asked that I cancel.
Booking.com does not verify if there are vacant rooms in a hotel but however it confirms booking. I request that I get my money in full because money was deducted from my account, but the error is on BOOKING.COM.
I still await payment or reimbursement till date.
Desired outcome: Reimbursement without any cancellation fee since booking.com is the one in the wrong
Bed bugs in the bed
I recently stayed in an Airbnb apartment in Golden Square, London, 17-22 Sept., booked and paid through Booking.com and had the most horrific experience. I awoke early in the morning to see bed bugs on the sheet and on the duvet right near my face and my head. I rushed out of the bed and managed to take photos before crushing them. I immediately wrote to...

On the 7 of September, I booked a house to stay in from the 8-11. However, I never received a conformation and pin. I tried my best to contact them, which it's not easy to. When I did get in contact with their customer service department they kept asking for a conformation and pin which I never received. I used Affirm to do my payment plan through, but I am unable to stop the payment for something that I never used. Afrrim keep telling me that Booking.com has to stop it I given the ID for the payment but Booking.com will not cancel the payment. It does even showup in their Booking portal.
Desired outcome: I would like for this issue to be corrected.

In 16 July 2023 I cancelled the flight. I have been awaiting for a refund as I need to book for another flight. My communication with your consultant ms has not been helpful.

I have been going back and forth with this with limited support. My last contact with the airline, they informed me that it is booking. Com’s responsibility to follow up about my refund if there are issues, telling me that you should be contacting their sales support team if the ref does not appear in 15 days which has long past.

The cancellation request was made and confirmed on 26 July 2023 and ever since I've been calling booking.com customer care to get a refund.
The response is my request has been escalated to the appropriate quarter, and that it would be attended to, but there is no positive development.
I recently contacted customer care via phone call and I received an email on 12 September stating ‘We are in communication with the airline on the issue and will respond to your query as soon as we have any update on your case since then, I have not heard from them.
I would appreciate it if my request is granted

Malcolm Wayne Petersen
Sannet Petersen
Mariska Priem
Mackenzie Malcolm Petersen
Spencer James Petersen
When we tried to book a hotel for our stay over in Abu Dabhi on the way back to Australia, it showed that Malcolm Petersen's name was not on the Etihad Itinerary. After numerous phone calls Booking.com refused to take responsibility for the error and told us that Etihad cancelled it. I went between Etihad and Booking.com for days and discovered that it was Booking.com that overbooked the flights and then cancelled Malcolm's ticked WITHOUT notifying us. We would have arrived in Sydney with no idea that there was no seat for him as he was still appearing on Booking.com's itinerary - even after all our phone calls. Booking.com REFUSED to admit their mistake, even right at the end they told me that we cancelled it but could provide no proof. We had no choice but to book a ticket with Etihad for the price of $2631.18, the price difference being $856.38.
Our reason for travelling was to see my mother that was very ill and could possibly have passed on. Furthermore we travelled with two disabled children - one being severely disabled. The way they sent me from pillar to post, denying and responsibility for the actions was absolutely disgusting and caused extra stress and tears to this difficult situation we were already facing.
Booking.com made sure that non of this information was sent by email avoiding responsibility. All calls were hopefully recorded. Etihad assured me that their calls were recorded and the Etihad operated even spoke to the operator at Booking.com at one stage.
Desired outcome: We would like compensation for the difference between the ticket originally bought from Booking.com and the ticket forced to purchase from Etihad which comes to $856.38
Quality of hotel, much lower than advertised
My wife Suzanne and myself Jalal Mansour have reserved 4 nights 12-09-2023 to 16-09-2023 at The Peak Hotel Suites & SPA - Taksim Pera Istanbul:
Confirmation: [protected]. We relied on the photos and description of the hotel as you showed us on the internet; the rooms looked fantastic, spacious the reports were very encouraging.
We were extremely disappointed and mislead due to the following reasons:
- we were given room 510, it had no Air-Condition, we complained about the
quality and standard of the room, we were promised a better room
- the receptionist changed the room to 611, it was in the same condition:
1- the room was very small, shabby dim had an awful view from the window, the curtains were dusty there was no table nor a chair to sit on to wear our socks and or to write a message. We had to sit on the edge of the bed which is very uncomfortable especially for me because I have a weak back
2- the mattress is very soft and you feel the springs under your body
3- the sheets were torn and we saw stain of blood
4- there was no tissues, we asked for kleenex , they brought us a kitchen
paper roll.
5- My wife could not sleep, she was coughing severely as soon as she put her head on the pillow
6- the walls of the room are so dull and look dirty.
7- the shower cubicle was very old
7- The hotel in general did not look clean, is tired and in a poor condition
8- The breakfast is good but there was no personnel to accommodate the
clients and seat them properly, the breakfast room was over-crowded.
We informed the reception that we were leaving and we booked 3 nights through " Booking.com" in Ramada Plaza by Wyngham, System reference: 390849, Reservation N0: 3235906 invoice N0: REA2023000014043 which we paid directly to the hotel.
We kindly ask you to reimburse us the amount paid to you regarding The Peak Hotel bearing in mind that we are good customers of "Booking.com"

Hotel booking through them but never resolved..
I have booked the hotel with the description of having sofa bed which wasn't provided at all. So, I have contacted booking.com customer service I have been told it would be resolve in 2 hours, but nothing has happened. I had called back again to customer service and been promised that I would be relocate to another hotel if the hotel I was staying cannot provide me the room with sofa bed. But again no one contacted me I had to sleep on the floor for 3 nights having children I can't let them sleep on the floor. I had called again to customer service but no resolve booking. com blaming Hotel's staff and they are blaming booking.com. No one wants to take responsibility and I had to suffer while paying so much. I have complained again and again to booking.com instead of resolving they are telling me to deal with the hotel directly, so my question is did I booked the hotel directly or I have booked it with booking.com?
My holiday with my family was totally ruined I have driven 9 hours from my home to Chicago and hasn't slept.
Every time I had contacted booking.com they have all given me different answer I wanted to speak to the manager or supervisor, but no one passed it to him or her for me to speak.
I needed someone to look into this matter urgently as i have enough of this unprofessional customer service behavior.
Please do not hesitate to contact me.
Many Thanks
Desired outcome: I need a full refund for spoiling my trip.
My room was not available to move in which is booked and confirmed through Booking.com
My room was not available to move in which is booked and confirmed through Booking.com:
Details:
Booking ref.: Confirmation number: [protected]
Date: 9/9 -10/9 (1 night)
Hotel: Harbourside Hotel
Such room was booked with a confirmation, unfortunately, Hotel informed that no any room in available to me. Few date later, Booking.com also informed that such booking is in-Valid since my credit card's problem!
It is unreasonable! I still using my credit card everyday!
I lost my family trip since it is fully booking everywhere since there is Air show at surrounding! (Hotel side offered my that can allows me to choice other hotel, it is useless)
Also, the serious point is it is 'Lying' from Hotel, and no any 'secured booking' from your company!
Finally, I writing my dissatisfaction and requesting to claim a compensation for my inconvenience!
Looking forward for your reply.

Travel credit
Booking.com offered me a deal on the 15th January 2023 to receive 10% back in Travel Credits if I was to book an eligible stay before the 17th January 2023. I booked an eligible stay within the specified time and received an email on the 16th January 2023 advising me that my travel credit would be applied to my account after i completed my stay. My stay was completed on the 5th June 2023 and on the 21st June 2023, I received an email from Booking.com that my travel credit of $141 AUD has been paid into my wallet.
I never received this travel credit and have emailed and called them on many occasions now and am constantly being told that the credit would be applied and it still has not. When I email them, they ask me to call them and I end up staying on the phone for extended periods of time with no resolution.
The customer service is atrocious and I am tempted to never book with this company again due to my poor experience.
I held up to m end of the bargain and booked the accommodation with Booking.com when I could have booked this accommodation with any number of accommodation websites or directly with the property.
Desired outcome: I would like to receive the $141 travel credit which i was promised for booking my accommodation with booking.com. I have completed my stay and this was the reward i was promised.

A few days later, the owner did not respond anymore. I was scammed over £1,000 and asked for help over the last few days. I tried all phone numbers Booking provided, but not...

Error in managing a reservation amendment and lack of accountability in resolving the issues caused
Your Ref:[protected]
Hotel: Corendon, Amsterdam New West
Dates: Fri 13th Oct - Mon 16th Oct (3 nights)
Rooms: 3 (each for 2 adults)
We booked 3 rooms for 3 nights but needed to slightly amend the reservation, on behalf of one couple in the group, who would not be able to make the first night. So we requested cancellation of ONE night for one of the rooms only, through Booking.com.
Booking.com then erroneously cancelled the one room for all THREE nights!
Despite recognising their error Booking.com have refused to take ownership for any corrective action and simply referred us directly to the hotel, who in turn send us back to Booking.com. After fruitless ping-pong, and no further help from Booking.com any new booking can now only be made at a markedly higher rate than the original reservation. The best offer given now - for the entire room booking cancelled by Booking.com (now at 2 instead of 3 nights) is over Euro168 more than the same two nights in the original reservation.
It is unreasonable for us to be penalised for the higher costs incurred through Booking.com's error.
Desired outcome: I expect your commitment to reimburse the cost difference between the original booking and any revised booking we'll now have to make directly with the hotel. Within the next few days, not weeks.
Flight
Dear Booking.com Customer Service Team,
I would like to express my concerns and request an explanation regarding my recent booking experience. I made a reservation for a round-trip flight from Manila to Butuan with the booking reference number 40-[protected], and i paid AUD$303.64 with my credit card. I did receive a confirmation email from Booking.com. However, on August 28th, i was refused to board on to the plane, Cebu Pacific Airline informed me that they had not received payment from Booking.com for the flight. Despite my attempts to communicate, no resolution was reached, and i had to purchase another ticket at a cost of PHP 9985.80.
This experience has been extremely frustrating, especially since it was my first time using Booking.com for flight reservations. I had been looking forward to a pleasant vacation, only to almost have my travel plans disrupted by this situation. Therefore, I kindly request Booking.com to provide me with a detailed explanation of what went wrong and where the error occurred. Why was i unable to board the flight when i had already received a confirmation email of the booking and my credit card had been charged?
I look forward to your prompt response and request a swift resolution to this matter, along with the necessary refund.
Sincerely,
Min W Li

I have checked the internet (several sites) each one directing me to your official website, which does not give access to live chat, messaging of phone numbers.
Desired outcome: as a matter of urgency, I need contact details
Booking number [protected] - no show charge on apartments soliceto
Hi there
I have been trying to make a complaint through Booking.coms internal email Comms for over a week.
I am disgusted by the service.
In short - I booked a holiday for 8 nights to Apartments Soliceto in Alcudia Majorca to arrive 20-28th August. The cost was given as £2500 (Euros) plus VAT. 2 bedroom and confirmation said 2 Adults and 4 kids - even though we are 2 adults with my 2 kids.
This was my Max budget.
We changed the dates once after for an extra night to match flight change.
However on the 18th June the Apartments emailed through Booking.com to say as I hadn't said I had 2 kids with me - the price would be going up and it would be over £3K euros - which I could not afford.
On the 18th June - I replied to this email to say if this was the case I would need to cancel.
I had a booking through Booking.com in June - a night in a hotel in Carcassone. The price advertised included breakfast yet when I came to book - I was told it was just price for room - breakfast for my family was an additional £60!
£60 for 2 adults and 2 kids eating toast or fruit - is OTT.
On the 18th June - I felt like I'd been 'sold' into something twice at a lower price, with the intention to hit me with extra charges later.
I cannot afford to go over my budget by £400 in case of Majorca.
Desired outcome: I've been charged £2667.67 to my credit card and the Apartments are saying I was a 'no show'. But I replied on the 18th June to say I didn't want it anymore as cost higher than I was sold at time of booking. I need my money back.
